Is the mixture used only cement with sand and water or do you add clay or another type of component? Thank you and I would appreciate it if you could respond. Nice work.

Great job, Im looking to do my own too, Been trying to find someone in Houston that rents the machine. Minimum charge is $1000. I only got about 60 ft. Going to do it by hand. We really like the final finish. do you have a picture of what it looks like after it dried? Would love to see how it came out. Do you see the red color underneath the grey?
Here's the full video series. The first video has the final result ua-cam.com/play/PLeRYPKDy98LKA7BqfkOm3PKz4hKKP1F5F.html Yes you can see the red show through when you're in the yard, but as the borderline guy says, if you put the dark color on top from a distance it's going to look dark, and that's what happens. from a distance it looks kind of dark gray or black. I'm okay with that.
please can you give me the recipe of the mixture, buy the CLUTCH and not epodide make the curb, I will fall apart, when I go smooth, can you give me the name of the cement you used, and the type of sand. I'm from the texas valley to see if i can buy it in a store, like lowes or home depot

Basically immediately. Extrude it, trowel it to compact the cracks and get it smooth and straight, then you stamp it. the video was real-time. if you had more guys, you'd be doing it even sooner.
You go as far as you can with the machine and then you basically have to hand-pack it (with the trowel). Here is Borderlines video on it: ua-cam.com/video/nYEoFI4uTcQ/v-deo.html. Min radius is typically 3ft. I go 8-9ft dia to avoid future roots.
My yard is big... I used 2 100ft 12Ga extension cords plugged into the house with no problems. but the cord is a pain to drag around. A 15A generator should work just fine. I saw a video somewhere of a guy who converted his unit to gas, so that would be an option also. The 2 back handles are used to raise and lower the rear wheels individually. You need to keep the front mold parallel to the ground. eg, when you start going downhill, you need to Raise the back wheels to keep the front of the mold on the ground or you will get a blow-out, which you can see me do in part 3 - i got better at this after some practice.
Great move bud. How are you making out now? This something im interested in purchasing. Seems to be around 1100$ now after taxes. Seems like the cost offset would only take a job or 2. Nice stuff.
I still have 400 ft to do at my house. Didn't get to it this summer. Probably next spring. Yeah I think if you did one job for someone else it would pretty much pay for your equipment I think I was at about $2.25 a foot with the machine and materials. And the going rate seems to be like $6 a foot. I caught a sale at northern tool and they had these $100 coupons that came in a flyer so I paid quite a bit less.
@@timgoihl great deal. I'm located in Canada near Toronto. So the problem here its winter now..lol But this would be a huge addition. $6 a foot is more like $9 a foot here. I currently do flat work. Hot tub pads and such. Average 8x8 pad is worth $1400-$1600 around here by us. Probably $1800 minimum from anyone else. Concrete where I am from is an old man's business. I'm trying to change that.

The black trowels that are shaped like the curb come with the curbing machine, one for each profile. I think it came with three different profiles. The other trowels come from Menards or Home Depot from the concrete section.
@@timgoihl ok thanks. I picked up one of those machines used, but it didn't have any of the profiled hand trowels with it. Hoping to find one that matches the forms. Thanks for all the good info on the videos
@@kurtandkarenackermann5353 maybe check with the person you bought it from, but I think you can download the manual from the Northern tool website, and I believe you can buy the trowels separately if you get the right phone number
this is from one of the comments in the reviews on their website. We do offer the three replacement molds; the mowers edge style #SHM998001-1, the curb style #SHM998001-1B and the slant style #SHM998001-1C. You can order these replacement parts by calling 1.800.657.0516. that says it's the molds but maybe you can get the trowels also
